Are you sure you have GL vsync working? Until I had that enabled, bob
deint either displayed an unstable image (wobbling up and down at
approx display frequency) or a completely unwatchable streaky mess,
depending on other settings.

kerneldeit is good but not as good as a synchronised bob for motion
deinterlacing. With bob, there's no motion combing artifacts that are
sometimes visible with kerneldeint.

One other thing, bob isn't good for me if I reduce the image capture
size. Using 720 or 704 x576 looks great but below a certain number of
horizontal lines (can't remember exactly), bob starts to look much
worse than kerneldeint again...

Cheers,
Wilf.
